BOSTON, Jan. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Iron Mountain
Incorporated®, the global leader in storage and
information management services, today announced a perfect score of
100 on the 2020 Corporate Equality Index (CEI) for the third
consecutive year. CEI is the nation's premier benchmarking survey
and report on corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ
workplace equality, administered by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC)
Foundation. Iron Mountain joins the ranks of over 680 major U.S.
businesses that also earned top marks this year.
"One of Iron Mountain's core values is to build and promote an
inclusive culture that encourages our employees to bring their
whole, authentic selves into the workplace," said Emma Jeffries, chief people and diversity
officer, Iron Mountain. "We benefit from the unique and different
abilities, perspectives and backgrounds of our global employees -
each of whom contribute to the diversity of thought and talent that
help us innovate. We are very proud of this distinction for the
third consecutive year and our CEI score is a reflection of our
commitment to an inclusive environment where all of our employees
can thrive."
"The impact of the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality
Index over its 18-year history is profound. In this time, the
corporate community has worked with us to adopt LGBTQ-inclusive
policies, practices and benefits, establishing the Corporate
Equality Index as a primary driving force for LGBTQ workplace
inclusion in America and across the globe," said HRC President
Alphonso David. "The companies know
that protecting their LGBTQ employees and customers from
discrimination is not just the right thing to do – it's also the
best business decision. In addition, many of these leaders are also
advocating for the LGBTQ community and equality under the law in
the public square. From supporting LGBTQ civil rights protections
in the U.S. through HRC's Business Coalition for the Equality Act,
to featuring transgender and non-binary people in an ad in
Argentina, to advocating for
marriage quality in Taiwan –
businesses understand their LGBTQ employees and customers deserve
to be seen, valued and respected not only at work, but in every
aspect of daily life."
The results of this year's CEI showcase how 1,059 U.S.-based
companies are not only promoting LGBTQ-friendly workplace policies
in the U.S., but also helping advance the cause of LGBTQ inclusion
in workplaces abroad. Iron Mountain's efforts in satisfying all of
the CEI's criteria earned a 100 percent ranking and the designation
as a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality.
The CEI rates companies and top law firms on detailed criteria
falling under five broad categories:
- Non-discrimination policies
- Employment benefits
- Demonstrated organizational competency and accountability
around LGBTQ diversity and inclusion
- Public commitment to LGBTQ equality
- Responsible citizenship
